Hulu to Get Current Season of Gossip Girl and Other CW Content

Hulu inked a five-year deal with The CW on Friday, giving the streaming site access to next-day content from five of the six major networks.

Starting "later this year" (Hulu declined to get more specific), Hulu will begin providing next-day content from shows like Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries and 90210, among other shows.

Subscribers with Hulu Plus will see that content the next day; those who get the free Hulu service will see it eight days after the content airs. Hulu Plus costs $7.99 a month.

With The CW on board, Hulu Plus is now offering next-day content from all the major networks except CBS. Hulu's proposition and its pointed emphasis on next-day content is intended as a stark contrast to Netflix, which got access to past-season content for CW shows earlier this month.

What do you think? Will next-day CW content persuade you to sign up for Hulu Plus? Let us know in the comments.
